Any way to force a rake task to run but skip its prereqs? Sometimes you
need to do this.

Probably:

  task :without do
    meth()
  end

  task :with => [ preq ] do
    meth()
  end

  def meth
    # orig. task code
  end

I mean preexisting tasks in Rakefiles.

That's liable to be "dangerous". So it's probably not possible.
